Time passes as they travel across the frozen lands, the snow piling higher into great dunes and hills, and the sky is soon blotted out by heavy, gray clouds, hanging low enough to feel almost claustrophobic. Soon enough, it starts to snow, making the way forward that much less clear.After who knows how long, and who knows who he knew, but the scout's voice crackles out from the powersled's speakers, saying, "We're approaching the deadzone soon. You might want to hold onto your lunch, it can get rough. No more magic from here on out."The party crosses some invisible line, and a feeling of deep discomfort settles into them.

The scout kneels behind a rock around the edge of the basin, propping his rifle up on it. "I'll cover from here."A noble offer... Or perhaps a cautious one.

Duval seems quite surprised at first, but quickly stabilizes himself and seems to have as smooth a ride. The shaking becomes more prominent, and loud thumps can be heard quite clearly from the bottom of the large basin... Until they suddenly stop. In their stead, there is a weird sort of drilling noise... That starts getting louder and louder, from directly underneath them. Something was drilling towards them from under the snow.

The creature flaps open its snow-covered wings, revealing itself to be some sort of drill-beaked bird, cloaked in shadows. The bullets fly off harmlessly from its wing flaps; apparently its wings had some sort of protective armor to them. Its body seemed different in a way, but it didn't seem like it'd just let itself be shot that easily...
